Hi.My name is Stefany, I am 31 years old, currently residing in the northwest side of Chicago. I’m currently looking for few part time morning/evenings or overnight weekend stays. Whether it’s to step out and run to get errands done, dinner with a friend, a date night with your spouse, you name it. I’m here to help! I have extensive experience caring for children, starting with helping my mother—an educator and childcare provider—and continuing through years of caring for my nieces, nephews, and local families. As a bilingual caregiver, I enjoy engaging with kids, building positive relationships, and supporting their learning and development. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and work with your family.
